The reality is if I was his employer I'd fire him for stealing company time and putting a job contract at risk by showing his behavior to the public via the internet. His job was simple to safely shuttle cars around. Not take the time to video cars and post it to the internet. Abusing cars aside stealing time from a company is theft and should be dealt with accordingly.

I would like to see such statistics of the average BMW wrapping the car around a pole.
Actually I want to see the statistics showing the average BMW lasts 20years! Cause that's awesome news!

So I actually went and watched some of these videos and IMHO this guy isn't doing anything all that awful.

From reading the jalopnik article I thought he was just straight pegging the needle at redline for long periods of time but he's just revving the motor a few times. Sure it's not exactly good for the engine but its no big deal. ALTHOUGH I could have missed some of the more abusive videos.
